1920s: Broadway and West 103rd Street

By Caitlin Hawke

Originally constructed as a hotel just as the IRT was nearing completion in 1905, the Marseilles is a Beaux-Arts neighborhood gem that was landmarked in 1990. This vintage postcard from 1948 shows the Marseilles in the early 1920s (circa). The Marseilles was designed by architect Harry Allen Jacobs.
